SCOTT FLEECED BY A WOMAN
SHE PROMISED TO KEEP IT FOR HIM. BUT SHE


SHE PROMISED TO KEEP IT FOR HIM. BUT SHE
DIDS'r-A NEW CONFESSION.
Those who have watched tho 'isory Of the Scott
Dunn Manhattan Bank robbery have been surprised
as the record has been unfolded that at 10 preced
ing stage did the provorbal woman in the caso'
appear. Dunn has declared that far he was
concerned there was such person, and many began
to believe that in this respect the case wouh prove
truly exceptional. But the missing actress In this
play has been produced upon the stage.
II Will be remembered that In Scott's first state
mont he spoke Of making two packages of tho
sl5oooo which no took from the bank on the day
OF his flight for Canada June 1, 1885. In one of Which
he placed $4,000 and In the other S14O,000. The
latter package he said that he gave to Dunn in Gen.
tral Park just before he started for Montreal but he
failed to say what Ho did with the package which
contained $4,000, and 1t was generally supposed
that no took IL with him I'm addition to the S460 In
loose bills which he hurredy picked up In the bank
and put In his pocket I'm sucI haste that no did not
know how much ho had until he counted it after
ward Mr. ern, Of the law firm of Stern Myers,
the banks counsel, when ho visited Scott in London
last May found great difficulty in persuading the
extclor to reveal the disposition vat he had made
Of tho $4,000, but the lawyers final success is
aested by the introduction Of the following affidavit

papers fled by the plaintiffs attorneys I'm SUIT be-
